Russell Means 1939-2012

Frequent readers of my blog know that I occasionally quote libertarian activist Russell Means in my posts. Today I was saddened to hear that Russell Means had passed away at the age of 72 from inoperable esophageal cancer.

Means lived an incredible life that included fighting for Native American rights, acting in films and running an aggressive campaign against Ron Paul in 1987 for the Libertarian party nomination for president.
